Hi. As someone who are not from Paris or Europe all i could think is that everyone who ride the train will already bought their ticket as they will need it to pass the turnstile, so i often throw the ticket away after checking in at the turnstile.
I'm from Spain and there's a lot of people jumping the turnstile so, while I understand your point, they still check just in case you jumped. It's stupid but needs to be done ๐๐
In most of Europe there are no turnstiles. You can board without any barriers and tickets are randomly checked on the train or at the station
